Your Chronological vs. Biological Age, Part 1 November 30, 2022 Our lifespan is increasing, but what about our health span--the portion of our lives in which we are healthy? When it comes to age, we all have two ages, our chronological age, and our cellular age (also referred to as biological age). Longevity Researcher Greg Macpherson, the founder of Science Research Wellness (SRW Laboratories), details a highly innovative suite of supplements that harness the latest breakthroughs in the biology of aging, addressing the structure, function and processes within our cells that change with age. Together they address the nine key attributes of our cells that decline in function as we age, known as the “Nine Hallmarks of Aging”. These cutting-edge formulations support the aging process in a way previous generations have not had access to. Click HERE for part 2.

Melatonin—Not Just for Insomnia and Jet Lag, Part 1 November 29, 2022 Headlines are sounding alarms over the widespread use of melatonin—especially as a sleep aid for young kids. Dr. Deanna Minich has authored a comprehensive review of melatonin, in which she likens it to vitamin D in its potential utility for a variety of ailments—not just for insomnia and jet lag, but also for metabolic syndrome and diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, brain disorders, autoimmune conditions, eye problems, tinnitus, PCOS, endometriosis, infertility, viral infections, and even ADHD and autism. Additionally, melatonin may confer anti-aging benefits. She affirms its overall safety, but cautions that some formulations are sketchy and may contain contaminants or vastly exceed or undershoot their claimed melatonin content. She discusses how modern life, with its ever-present artificial light, shift work, and travel across time zones may disrupt our circadian rhythms and put us in a state of darkness deprivation, with consequent melatonin depletion. For many conditions less is more, and use in children should be limited to special cases. Dr. Minich also emphasizes that lifestyle factors like properly timed light and darkness exposure, blue blocker glasses and screen apps, exercise and diet are cornerstones to optimal melatonin production, with melatonin supplements constituting only part of a holistic approach.
